Scientology is paying Youtube now?

[uriituw]

I noticed that.

What's wrong with YouTube's morals?

And who'd fall for that, anyway?

[VergilGrimm000]

I still want one of those neat little SP Certificates!!!! IM SURPRESSIVE... GIMME ONE DAMNIT!!!!

And when it comes down to it. When you look at it. I havent seen one silly scientologist comment on anything in a long time.

[Gethsemaneful]

It's called freedom of speech. Even though it's bullshit, they still have as much of a right to promote their beliefs just like we have every right to tear it down an expose it for the scam it is.

[ihatespongebob1]

dumbass its cause you searched up Scientology xD

[UphyXx]

The Church of Scientology controls the media, U.S. goverment, Catholic church and even controls the illuminati!

The truth is out there!! stop it before its too late!

[XpplicitLEX]

They could never leverage against Youtube, understand that there would be a worldwide out cry and we would all pull the free speech card. The fact is, Scientology is a small fraction of googles and youtubes revenue, they were both doing well before they started getting cheques from scientology.

[thetan808]

Yes!!! It's clear that Scientology has a great influence in YouTube. That's there's so much bullshit on Scientology in YouTube!!! Come on!!! Go do something productive for a change!!!

[kamikazi445]

lol i love how you play scarey music in the backround friggin priceless

[TemplesNSR]

my main problem is that these damn ads are making the videos i watch freeze up and skip. can we have some less invasive ads plz?

[smasher2256]

Well, theoretically, if someone was to launch an attack, and spam click these ads, it would cost Scientology quite a bit. Although a hard task, it could be done.

[tripod360]

Scientology seems more like a business than a religion.

[ReDRuM868]

I just saw a Scientology ad on another video in the top right corner and I searched for "Scientology ad YouTube" to see if anyone else was as outraged about this as me. The other day I saw one with Obama. Political and Religious ads should not be on here because it sends a dangerous message and threatians free speech on YouTube. These organizations are FUNDING YouTube so basically if the feds or religous groups don't like something they can take it off.

[AlbertaAllan]

Well I'm glad the Wikimedia Foundation rejected contributions from Scientology. They're a charity and not a business. Still I'm really surprised with Google/YouTube. They still want us to believe in Xenu and body thetans and take their stupid E Meter tests. And be debt slaves doing unpaid labor on the Gold Base and confined against our will.

[glazinq]

Ha ha, Scientology just got blocked from editing Wikipedia!

[stayjit1]

I dont mind at all CoS has ads on YouTube, Ive searched their video channel may times. The videos are pure propoganda. All the comments are disabled. The Official bio of Hubbard would have you thinking the man was only moments away from walking on water, it's hilarious.

[GForcewarr]

Scientology+Anonymous=BULLSHIT I say you should treat your mind with something real, not stuff like this

[levilisko]

sorry if people are just weak minded , but google can't choose not to display scientology ads, and it would only reinforce the how bad people are being to them... the cure to ignorance is not more ignorance

[xyzolion]

i'm not on anyone's side in this, but aren't scientology just paying for the ads, fair and square? ust like battleon ads are everywhere on the net... yuo guys (anonymous)could just do the same thing, y'know... or have i misunderstood something?

[LueLime]

how to stop scientology? educate ppl first before scientology gets them. we will also need to make those scientologists turn away from the cult. always put in mind that we do not want any harm. we want to destroy scientology and not the scientologists. the scientologist followers are the victims. the leaders are the culprit. first we must open everyones eyes. educate ppl about the damages scientology has created. the scientologists havnt's seen them yet coz they forbid them inside the church.

[boredperson81]

Youtube are scientologists.

[gennx30]

Church of Scientology has TONS of money-and big, bulky, heavily armed "persuaders" to back them up if you dont comply

[napalm2771]

wow thats pathetic.

[zyldyks]

what surprises me is that they had the money to do that... youtube adds are extremely expensive

[KRISHANKO]

they probably threatened youtube owners.

the cult cant afford ads

[zyldyks]

wow.. cults are extremely frightning, they give an illusion of great power..

[bobjf1987]

they are minted cause they charge you to be part of there religion

[hyroglyphx]

No kidding they paid YouTube to place an ad up, just like EVERY other company would. Look, dude, just because you see an ad up on YouTube doesn't mean that Scientology has somehow taken over YouTube. Look at how many dissenting videos versus pro Scientology videos are on YouTube. It's pretty clear that YouTube seeks neutrality. Look, the Sci-fi's are insane nuts, but hey, so are some Anons and their kidiot videos. Don't just make shit up when there are plenty of legitimate grievances.

[jimbarin]

My family had a visit in the sixties from two evangelicals from the Church of the Latterday Saints. Just like the Scientology freaks, they are damm hard to get away from your doorstep.

[KornmanUNstoppable]

true my fine fellow the anons that have participated in either the Global protests or small flashraids of so called "stress Test" booths are showing signs that the old iron clad determination and strong will of an america that wont take any BS is still alive and well

[qumulus22]

Youtube is a business. $cientology has every right to place ads... I hate them as much as anyone else, but what is your point here? It's ad space. You can buy an ad and have it placed right next to all their videos if you like. Granted, you have to convince a hole bunch of sheeple to give you money for audits, but you can still do it.

[GJBM85]

Yeah, I have to agree. I was going to make this point, but I saw this comment and had to reply. I hate Scientology as much as the next rational minded person, but they can buy as much ad space as they want so long as they have the money.

[Doktorio]

Agreed. I hate Scientology with a passion too but they just placed an ad, which usually means they pay whoever puts the ad up. Plus, if you watch again the channel ad came up on a search for Scientology.

[KornmanUNstoppable]

yes but they spread BLACK PR on youtube anything to make us Anonymous and other critics look bad and evil and violent in nature while we have done no such thing they post false videos that THEY have made in thier own computers to make US look like terrorist yet we protest peacefully yet they can get any of thier critics unlawfully banned from youtube for what user thier constitutional right to free speech? scientology is the true evil hear i say remove THEM from youtube let them know how itfeels

[sonicdissent]

The CHURCH of Scamentology (COS)calls itself a church so it can avoid having to be regulated or monitored by any official body. COS sanctions itself so,...it must be good! Can you imagine if psychiatrists could practice without any monitoring system? Scientology is NOT a CHURCH it is an outdated incomplete mental development tool. The process of auditing is usefull but entirely incomplete. At any rate a CHURCH has no place auditing people let the medical professionals do that...keep THINKing

[NuFroot]

Sadly, the "church" of $scientology has acquired tremendous wealth over the years, which has allowed to achieve one of its main goals; buying the media. By controlling the media, you control how your image is portrayed. Hence, you influence how you are perceived by viewers.

Also, Scientologists recruit relentlessly. YouTube is a very effective media outlet to reach individuals directly while they are sitting in front of their computer alone... especially YOUTH.

[Godinhoinho]

Here's a question for any $cientologists out there: how many Religions have you seen with ads on the internet? Perhaps I haven't paid enough attention but I'd usually expect more advertising from a business than by a Church. For that matter, how many cults has anyone seen ads for like those for $cientology?

[6thCreated]

hmmm based on what we know about scientology after the first Anon video declaring virtual war against them was posted to youtube I would bet 99 percent of the videos on youtube now that are supposed to be by Anon are most likely by scientlogy themselves. its called counter intelligence. so when I watch these vids i cant tell if its really anon or scientology. oh well.

[Letztermohikaner]

yes when i saw this commercial i realised why youtube deletet many anti-scientology videos. sry for my bad english btw ^^

[KornmanUNstoppable]

so we keep making them we should really flood the same video over 9000 times over various dummy accounts see how the scilons like us fighting back with MASSIVE numbers

[Dantinus]

Bah, Scientologists pay EVERYBODY.

[IhateH1pp13s]

not me :(

I hate being excluded

[Thordpt]

@Dantinus so why the fuck do "everybody" accept the damn money!?

[FullMentalPanic]

at most, it's just annoying to see those damn ads. but seriously, the youtube business isn't even profitable, so they can't be picky about which ads to host. let the cult of scientology squander their money for a lost cause.

david miscarriage should be scared shitless by now. i'm personally just waiting for the cult to crumble, dissolve, and formally declare bankruptcy, since much of the nails have already been struck to the coffin. they can only go DOWN from here.

[HillDueceua]

well thats a shame anon. How are you going to deal with this one? It's like some sort of mutant chinese scientology puzzle.

[MMalve]

not to mention that they collectively freeze the view counts of all anti-scientology material here on youtube to prevent them from getting to the front page or present a feeling of popularity amongst anti-Co$

[amyrose1984]

What a waste of time. Yes Scientology is evil, but so are a lot of things that get posted on youtube. Just because you don't like what someone has to say doesn't mean they shouldn't have the right to say it. People just need to think critically about every message that comes at them and maintain healthy levels of skepticism.

[IhateH1pp13s]

1. The fact that this 'was posted on youtube' has nothing to do with it. It's the fact that google agreed and accepted money that this cult has paid them to try and intimidate/annoy those who speak against them.

2. Scientology tried to put adds like this on every website that speaks critically of them

3. Scientology is a retarded destructive cult.

4. A waste of time is trying to talk a scientologist reasonably like a normal person. They have been brainwashed and are extremely close minded.

[amyrose1984]

When you say Scientologists shouldn't be allowed to advertise on youtube, you are just as bad as the "retarded" Church (Cult) of Scientology, who make extreme efforts to punish and intimidate those who speak out against them. Google is a corporation, and corporations care about making a buck above ALL else, that is just the way our messed up world functions. What would actually be an issue is if you could prove they censor the multitudes of negative videos or posts floating around the net.

[IhateH1pp13s]

Xenutv, the fact that i have to keep reposting my own videos all the time, the harassment im getting from this stupid cult, the many other websites that are shut down all the time.

[oschaper]

I guess it would be fair in a democracy to have both sides permitted to show their points.

[oschaper]

I think is opens a forum. Why just give an open forum to one side? Scientology is doing exactly what it has been criticized for: openness. Get the facts from both sides and make up your mind will open your eyes.

[mishamode]

it's all about money youtube don't give a fly fuck all they care about is the money the can make off scientology

[Kwizii]

I was also very surprised. I went onto the scientology site and watched their videos, then came back onto Youtube to see the other side of scientology... Funny isn't it?!

[dingleberrie]

So I'm trying to watch all these Anti-scientology videos and all I see is a loading screen. Sci-fags are starting their demolition campaign.

Watch yourselves people. They'll be coming after everyone. I even wonder if this message will send or be deleted.

Holy Fuck, this is JUST what the NAZI'S did. Scientology, how can someone believe in your good nature if you resort to Nazi propaganda.

I think I just targeted myself.

[Daco65]

and that makes you a worthy anonymous, never fear scientology! go and beat them!

[Gummz87]

its called "paying for advertising"

use your head moron

[kreeper887]

ya their allowed to pay to have their shit on youtube you fucking idiot why wouldn't they??? a lot of the anti-scientology propaganda (which i support) is on youtube..who the hell cares nobody is gonna take any of their adds seriously at this point Legion has crippled them...DEATH TO XENU!

[MangoZombie]

Scientology is seeming more and more desperate to hold on to the power they used to have when their tactics were effective. As the tide grows against them I really hope the "church" finally self destructs forever.

[wesleyfilms]

The "church" will, cant you feel it, they are afraid because everyone even them, know their distruction is iminent.

[jfunf]

??? dream on.

[NoWattz]

Wouldn't clicking this scientology AD be dangerous? The ad takes you to a place outside of youtube's domain. Would this allow the logging of your IP? This is not for those who use blind proxys, but rather for those who don't. Is this an ID/WHOIS risk??

[AnonPawnBeGone]

What's wrong with this picture? The Church has money and you don't. Simple as that. The Internet is a free market and you my friend want to live in a totalitarian communist state of Anonymous. Go flag yourself.

[IhateH1pp13s]

So you apparently want attention sense you already messaged me this exact message. In that case;

Hmm.. and who is to say I don't have money?

And the fact that you jump to conclusions so fast shows your ignorance.

I am not part of Anonymous.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

You shouldn't be too quick to judge, it only lessens your credibility and lowers perceptions of your intelligence.

Have a nice day

[theothertube]

This is bullshit. Youtube bought add space in exchange for the banning of Mark Bunker. FUCK YOUTUBE.

[davis1337]

it's illegal to have an advert on youtube? scientology is a bunch of crap but so is this vid.

[Garbados]

It's a very simple program for bringing products and services to interested parties by matching related words: we say scientology, and scientology ads appear, in the same way that if we said Grudge all the time, ads for The Grudge would appear. It's not YouTube's fault, they're just owned by google and therefore using google's adfinder programs. Click the links and rob Co$ of 10 cents at a time!

[kola04]

Large, colorful ads for The Grudge will never appear. Scientology is getting preferential treatment because of their money

[artheartscience]

Why shouldn't YouTube sell ad space to the CoS? How many people really go to or stay at those boring websites anyway?

YouTube is hosting many videos with CoS-critical content, so it sounds to me like they're effing the CoS in multiple inlets.

Click those ads if you see them, and tell others to do the same because everyone ought to see the Internet's most boring websites.

Clickety click click.

And if you're looking for the most boring reading material, skim the OT docs courtesy of Wikileaks.

[analyzingfunny]

So, since they have to pay 10 cents per click, could we click them into submission? Clickety click click.

[SicSmurf]

i think this is the best thing for scientology right now, because the only people that would have a religous awaikening in the form of a paid-for ad on youtube just happen to be the same people that have some how missed all the other scientology videos on youtube.

[Taosunwu]

May I suggest watching "Surf the web anonymously" here on youtube before clicking an ad that takes you off site.

Although I'm all for putting co$'s money into youtube where co$ can no longer use it, don't underestimate co$'s craftiness in finding out who you are.

"Hello," said the web to the cult.

4/12

[Kentkillmore]

they're freaking out because they know their reign is coming to a close. It's an attempt to "Educate" those who have been "blinded" by the "lander" of anonymous. They can't TAKE OVER youtube, but they can pay for ad space. Just like the rest of us. However, I must say I've never seen that one up.

[packetscan]

beware the ad take you off site.

[39Hool]

They pay $.05 - $.10 per click on their Google ads as well. So, clickity click click click!

[emprise]

No link. Not letting them advertise would open them up to discrimination lawsuits.

Youtube has been very fair so far imo

[SelfTitledGuitarist]

Every click on the Link cost the COS money.

[EFG9000]

This could be bad if Scientology tries to exert it's influence on Youtube as advertisers.

If not... it just shows that they're afraid; and... it gets people thinking about Scientology! People know the CO$ is bad, they'll look into it, find out about Anon, and the CO$ is speeding it's own destruction.

But... CLICK ON THE LINK!! IT COSTS THE CO$ MONEY![/allcaps]

[ShadowNINku]

get the "facts"

[buckhuckleman]

Can you say desperate! Sleeping with the enemy? They are going to blow their budget on counter-information to an audience that they can not fool.  The power of this movement is amazing!!

[jeffaz1971]

This video gets taken off in 5...4...3...

[LRonHu88ard]

Wanna click them off this page ?

watch?v=c2lQhiNQ008

[AnonJohnD]

Very interesting indeed.

[johnnonymous13]

Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this.

[vlogatory]

Do you think it's a pay per click? Click away! Click Away!

[DescartesActivist]

What will be will be.

Truth is the lightest element of all.

Resist and it only rises faster.

Suppress and it only builds potential energy.

Obscure it and it only spreads tiny roots farther and farther to prepare for a larger blossom.

Reshape it for hours, and one day it spins full frontal on you to thunderous applause.

[NotSoOldHippy]

The crime syndicate is merely trying insanely to drown out the truth, is all. What else can the crime syndicate do? Their racketeering, blackmail, extortion, murder and all the rest don't work any more thanks to Anonymous. The insane crooks have nothing else to try.

My opinions only and only my opinions.

[MillionthAnon]

There was scandal last year for companies endorsing the advertising of hate groups. In 2006 the UK Big Brother race row sparked an advertising boycott by the Carphone Warehouse who were forced to pull association.

If pressure is put on youtube to show that their status will be damaged by association to the cult, they will pull the ads. Yes money talks, but bad PR shouts.

Although, I'd be inclined to let them carry on wasting money, and the tube is not always our friend.

[anonlolwut12]

This is good, keep them wasting their money

[anon467]

expect us

[glgs44]

This will NEVER end, we will NEVER rest, we will NEVER go away---until the cult of Scientology has been dismantled and brought to justice, loses it's tax exempt status, is stripped of it's title "church", and laws are enacted so that this can never happen again.

We are the voice of your victims, living & dead. Especially the children-the most innocent victims of all.

[GmailVideoEntry]

Be sure to click the thing... they probably pay per click.

[StillAnonymous]

Lmfao, at first I thought is said 'Scentology'. Scentology, science of the smell. Think for yourself...by only watching what we want to show you to what to think about.

[eluminated]

Look at it this way. $citardology is paying the money to support the most successful tool being used in their own undoing! Epic win for Anon! I say let them buy more adds! Hell, if they want to pay me to wear a T-shirt of LRH while I picket them then so be it! Let them pump money into failure! It only speeds up their own demise!

[eluminated]

I don't see a huge conspiracy here. Youtube is a business that needs to run adds for revenue and $citardology has alot of money to spend. I don't see Youtube taking sides either way, nor should they.

[EarthTrekTech]

If you ckick on it you probably get a virus

[frenchhate]

I'm sure Anon could pay YouTube too

[anonymees]

take off your tinfoil. Youtube have never claimed to be anything other than a business (unlike certain cults). They will put up ads of whoever pays them, and that's perfectly fair.

[KornmanUNstoppable]

yea especilly when it leads to BLACK PR about its critics who have never done any terroristic act against scientology like they so claim we have

[Allitur]

This is a paid advertisement, I say take it as a compliment. You're so much a threat now that you are forcing them to spend money

[jnycnuk]

scientology is getting desparate. it is too late and their efforts are pathetic. once the flood gates open and people start to leave scientology will resemble a deflated ballon.

[MARYBLEUZ]

I have noticed it for the last week, let em waste their money, its total bullshit! Shame on U-Tube! GREED GREED
